And (Rightly IMO), he lost.

As did the gambler in the case where he was suing the bookie for
letting him continue gambling.

(The only similarity being that both were trying to get somebody else
to pay for their own problems, and both failed today)

I really wish personal injury claims could be discussed without the moral
indignation that someone should dare to hold another to account for
negligence. He lost because the judge didn't believe that there was
sufficient evidence to establish that the grape was responsible for his
slipping. If there has been evidence that his slipping was down to the
negligence of M&S then he would have been completely right to expect M&S 'to
pay for [his] own probelms'.


No he wouldn't.

He would then have been completely right to expect M&S to pay for the
problems they had caused. Not "his own problems".

Incidentally, I must have missed the "moral indignation that someone
should dare to hold another to account for negligence" bit in this
thread. Could you point out the post(s) where you feel that happened?

there was certainly and absolutely no such inference in the post you
responded to.
